From Wikipedia.Sure, if you ignore that fact that the capitol siege began before Trump spoke. But feel free to keep lying, it's expected.

Rudy and Don Jr speak before Donald Rudy calls for Trial by Combat
- 12:00 p.m.: President Trump begins his over one-hour speech.[15] He repeats allegations that the election was stolen, criticizing Vice President Mike Pence by name a half-dozen times, accusing fellow Republicans of not doing enough to back up his allegations, and stating that he would walk with the crowd to the Capitol, though he retires to the White House immediately after the speech.[17]
- 12:30 p.m.: Crowds of pro-Trump supporters gather outside the U.S. Capitol building.[18]
- 12:49 p.m.:
- Capitol Police respond to a report of a possible explosive device at the Republican National Committee Headquarters, which is later identified as a pipe bomb. Shortly afterwards, a second pipe bomb is found at the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee.[19][18] Buildings next to these headquarters are evacuated.[20]
- A police sweep of the area identifies a vehicle which held one handgun, an M4 Carbine assault rifle with loaded magazine, and components for 11 Molotov cocktails with homemade napalm. Around 6:30 p.m, the driver was apprehended carrying two unregistered handguns as he returned to the vehicle. He is not suspected of planting the pipe bombs.[20][21]
- 12:53 p.m.: Rioters overwhelm police along the outer perimeter west of the Capitol building, pushing aside temporary fencing. By 1:03 p.m., rioters have overrun three additional layers of barricades and have forced police officers to the base of the west Capitol steps.[19]
- 1:00 p.m.:
- Senators and Vice President Pence walk to the House chamber.[15]
All done BEFORE Trump finished speaking, go fucking figure.
